Dandelion Music.
Andrew Lawrence MA (Musicology), PGCE (Music) is a practising community musician running choirs, workshops and short-term music projects in the Bristol area. With 16 years’ experience working with young people in music and community projects, 4 years’ experience as a secondary school music teacher and 4 years’ experience as a dad, Andrew uses a variety of approaches to create immersive musical experiences for all.
Philosophy
Dandelion Music is the music that grows up in the cracks in the pavement, spontaneous, joyful, and robust. Dandelion Music follows these principles:
- Everyone is musical!
- Music is communication - playing or singing together transcends language
- There’s no age limit on music
- Music happens in community and creates communities
- Musicking together is fun
It is my hope that you create your own dandelion music whilst matching the beeps of the pelican crossing, or whilst making up laundry songs with your toddlers, or whilst singing half-remembered
pop songs in the shower.
Here are the programmes Dandelion Music currently offers:
Little Musical Voyages
Interactive musical experiences for pre-schoolers. Energetic themed musical adventures for pre-schoolers including singing, percussion instruments and ukuleles. We create soundscapes, we sing,
